Small win: just finished a book for the first time in 3 years

Dec 1·1 min read

It took me literally 8 months to get through it because I could only read like 5 pages at a time before someone needed something. But I FINISHED IT. And I actually remembered what happened. Granted it was a dad humor book so maybe not the most challenging read lol but still feeling pretty accomplished. If anyone has recs for books you can read in chunks without losing the plot I'm all ears.

This post just motivated me more than anything else today. Been telling myself I'll read more. You're proof it's actually possible.

This is such a huge deal honestly. Finishing a book as a dad feels like climbing Everest. Congrats man, that's legit something to be proud of.

dude same, I read like a chapter a night after bedtime and it takes me forever but it's honestly my favorite wind down time. What book btw?

The remembering what happened part is key. I've started so many books and abandoned them that I genuinely couldn't tell you what any of them were about lol

8 months is insane commitment! What book was it? I've been trying to get back into reading too but it feels impossible with the interruptions every 5 minutes.
